Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts-Chapter 5984 Divine Blood Lightning Phoenix

A golden gorilla opened its mouth, unleashing a golden light-sword that ripped a massive hole through the void. Its violent power was enough to leave space trembling.

That light-sword tore through the air and reached Long Chen in an instant. But just as it was about to land, Long Chen vanished.

When the void quivered, Long Chen reappeared on the golden gorilla’s head and extended a single finger. A streak of violet light flashed, and in the next heartbeat, the golden gorilla collapsed, lifeless.

The Luo family’s experts were all deeply shaken when they saw this. Long Chen’s phantom-like movement art was impressive, but that killing blow left them stunned.

With that one attack, Long Chen pierced the gorilla’s skull. It then exited cleanly out the back, through the densest, most fortified section of its head. That thick bone had been sliced like tofu.

Even someone as composed as Luo Fengying was shaken.

“He’s not even using the violet blood race’s secret arts, yet he’s compressing violet blood energy to such an extreme degree!” exclaimed Luo Fengying.

Luo Fengying could do such an attack as well. But Long Chen wasn’t a violet blood clansman. The fact that he could do it without their secret techniques—and so effortlessly—was astonishing.

While others were stunned, Long Chen was equally surprised.

After the Divine Staircase Spirit Awakening, not only had his violet blood energy evolved qualitatively, but his control over it had also surged to new heights. Among his three bloodlines, it was the easiest to control.

His seven-color Supreme Blood and dragon blood were different. They required specific methods to use properly. Otherwise, it could result in backlash or even injury. It was as if they had their own will and ego.

On the other hand, the violet blood remained gentle no matter how Long Chen used it. Even if he failed to channel it correctly, it wouldn’t harm him. It was like a mother’s unconditional love—always shielding, always nurturing.

Of his three bloodlines, he used the dragon blood most often, and the violet blood least. But in terms of mastery and control, his violet blood far exceeded the others.

Furthermore, after the Divine Staircase Spirit Awakening, it became his core power, flowing as he pleased.

When Long Chen tossed the golden gorilla’s corpse into the primal chaos space, just as expected, the energy released was several times greater than that of any devil creature he had slain.

Most importantly, Long Chen sensed thunderforce laced with primal chaos energy emanating from the corpse as it was devoured.

Clearly, these demonic beasts had gone through heavenly tribulation as well. After the Human Emperor tribulation, they retained immense thunderforce within them, which was exactly what Lei Linger needed.

As expected, the cocoon around Lei Linger trembled once this thunderforce was released. It instantly sucked the thunderforce in.

“Don’t worry, Lei Linger. There are plenty of demonic beasts here. I’ll get you everything you need in one go!” Long Chen said.

Seeing how excited Lei Linger was, Long Chen knew she had reached a critical juncture and urgently needed this kind of thunderforce.

Suddenly, the space behind Long Chen twisted, and a massive maw silently lunged at him.

A shadow serpent—steeped in rare dark energy—had appeared. Known for ambushes and deadly stealth, it was feared even within the primal chaos era.

The spectators gasped. The shadow serpent was an infamous killer, and Long Chen seemed unaware of the danger, standing there blankly.

But just as the serpent’s jaws were about to close around him, it spasmed violently. A line of blood spurted from its skull.

Long Chen casually grabbed and tossed the corpse into the primal chaos space, never once sparing it a glance. No one had even seen him move.

“Perfect!” Luo Jiang and the others shouted excitedly.

That commanding aura, that kingly dominance... Long Chen had returned! The stunned looks on the Sovereign Mountain experts mirrored their own from the past.

“How powerful!”

All the Luo family’s heavenly geniuses gasped. Ever since the initial probing exchanges with the devils, Long Chen had slain every opponent in a single blow, without exception.

It didn’t matter what divine abilities his enemies used, how they attacked or defended—none of them could escape being instantly killed by him.

Every strike was clean and precise—no wasted motion. He was like a death god, methodically reaping lives.

All these people had heard of Long Chen’s legendary feats before. Luo Yanfeng and others idolized him, practically worshipping him as a god.

Still, many were not convinced. But since he was on their side, they kept their doubts to themselves.

However, today, they found that Long Chen was even more terrifying than his own legends.

Luo Fengying’s eyes were locked on the screen. She didn’t blink, unwilling to miss even a second.

Seeing her so serious, one of the Sovereign Lords asked, “Do you think Long Chen will be in danger against Bi Xingyao?”

Normally, a Sovereign Lord wouldn’t ask such a question. But this time, he couldn’t hold back, asking Luo Fengying for her opinion.

Though Luo Fengying was only a Heaven Saint, she was among the strongest Spirit Awakeners—definitely in the top three. As a result, the Bi family never pushed the Luo family too far. They didn’t dare to provoke Luo Fengying, and that alone spoke volumes about her strength.

Luo Fengying was a veteran of the devil domain battlefield, a true warrior forged in blood. She was blessed with ungodly battle prowess and insight. If anyone could accurately assess the gap between Long Chen and Bi Xingyao, it was her.

Everyone instinctively turned to Luo Fengying for her judgment. After a moment of thought, she said, “In terms of combat experience, Long Chen is definitely superior. If this were a conventional battle on the martial stage, he’d have a massive advantage. But he’s wasting too much time. Bi Xingyao will reach the Life End Stage first. And you all know that he possesses a heavenly domain. With that head start, he’ll have time to lay out countless traps.

“If I want assurance in beating Bi Xingyao, the one absolute condition would be to stop him from summoning his Divine Blood Lightning Phoenix. Once that thing appears, I’ll be forced onto the defensive. Defeating him will become difficult. What’s worse, Bi Xingyao has subdued so many devils and demonic beasts, so he’ll have all the time he needs to prepare. He may even be hiding a trump card more terrifying than anything we’ve seen so far. At this point, it’s hard to say how things will go.”

The Sovereign Lords’ hearts tightened. They had actually forgotten about the Divine Blood Lightning Phoenix.

“Long Chen! Stop wasting time on those demonic beasts! They’re not worth it!” one of them shouted in frustration. “You’re a Spirit Awakener! Whatever resources you need, we’ll provide them! Just hurry to the Life End Stage! You can’t afford to give Bi Xingyao any more time!”

As they watched Long Chen continue his rampage through the Shadow Demon Forest, their hearts filled with unease.
